About This Quote

When we walk in the sun our shadows are like barges of silence. This quote is taken from William Shakespeare’s play “As You Like It” and represents the power and artistry of words. The shadows we create for ourselves are often the most lasting memories we have of a day. This quote reminds us that we can create shadows by our own actions as well as those of others.

In other words, it is up to us as to whether or not our shadows only show up as darkness. If you choose to begin creating your own shadows, your days will be filled with words that mean something.
